Hello all,
I received the following Noob sub a couple of days ago on recommendation of this and other rep boards. Guess its a legend now.
First let me say I think it is amazing looking. My wife who is extremely skeptical cannot believe how real it looks and neither can I. How is it possible that I have paid as much as $850 for gen tags and this blows them away for only $80? I am actually trying to decide if I should Ebay some of my gens and buy more reps!
As others have pointed out nothing is perfect, especially at this price, but its darn close! I am actually thinking about using the $4900 I saved and take a trip to Tahiti with the wife. Anyway here are a few pics and here are my few minor gripes:
- Date is not centered. Too far to the upper left corner of widow.
- 6 hour marker leaning ever so slightly to the left
- Hologram sticker says 16610LV. Shouldn't it say 16610?
- The winding movement is a little noisey and feels like a gyroscope sitting on top of my wrist when I move my hand.
Other than that, it seems to keep good time and its by far my favorite watch.
PS. Please don't say welcome to the world of reps. I lived in NYC my whole life and have had many reps, but none as good as this. Amazing.
Thanks to everyone for pointing me toward this model and to TTK. hmmmm, what to buy next....
